I was thinking about getting the AMD Ryzen 7 2700x as I'm pretty sure my CPU is the weak point on my system. I'm no expert though. For any that currently or have used it, what are your experiences in terms such as performance, temp with stock cooler and overclocking potential? Next question...

Fair enough, I think I'll go for that Samsung SSD and see about replacing that PSU with something a little better. Thanks for the reply!

After going back and forth over my options the past couple of weeks, I think I've finally nailed down what would be best for my new PC build. I will be building from scratch under a moderate budget, as I am letting a relative have my old AMD FX-6300 / GTX 660 build. I just wanted to ask if this...

Good to know. I think I'll go with that one instead. Thanks for the help.

I'm building a new gaming PC, as mine is getting quite dated. My main concerns are whether the components will all work together (I know how to match up the cpu socket type but that's about it), and if the power supply is adequate. Here are the components: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 Socket AM3+/...

For the past couple days my computer has been shutting off on it's own. I've done some research and I think it may be due to the CPU overheating, but I'm not sure. As of now, it's idling around 129 F. (54 C). Games cause it to jump up to the mid 140's. around 147 F (64 C) was the highest it...
